I have been on Suboxone for 5+ years. For the last few months I was on 2mg/ a day.
I see a pain MD who is not well versed in Suboxone, so I need to take charge of my medical care.
I had my monthly appointment to see my Sub doctor for tomorrow (September 21st) I was going to run out a week before I would of happily seen my doctor before I ran out, but she was booked.
I have been planning to come off the suboxone for many reasons: I travel for my job and getting in to the DR ever month is a hassel, once I was 10 minutes late for an appointment and the office charged me $150!. The staff there is rude and treats me like a second class citizen. They followed my and my kids out once like I was some "unfit mom". Any way sorry for digressing!
I stopped cold turkey last Wednesday. It has been 6 days. Last month I found out my husband was cheating and might end up in a custody battle and cannot have any health issues cause me to not loose my kids. I am a good mom, I don’t drink and have never done any drugs not even smoked pot. I have a small tumor on my ear that causes pain-why I am on suboxone. It does not matter why we are on suboxone the banter is more about me freaking out over having withdrawls and that being used against me.
I saw my primary care MD who gave me Vicodin for the PAWS. I am taking one 10mg/325 every 12 hours. Well I did not take one yesterday and had an awful night.
I see my MD tomorrow afternoon. Since I have gone a week without suboxone should I just stay off and continue the medication for the paws? I found a youtube MD in FL who does allow vicoden for PAWs but I do not want to then have withdrawls from Vicoden. I have zero energy and have to fake feeling good at home, so it does not come back to bite me in the butt. HELP. My goal is it be suboxone free, but cannot work full time and parent with withdrawls symptoms.
